What tax forms should I have before filing?

Last year I worked 2 jobs, received unemployment, received child support, went to college (yet discontinued before the semester's end), had one active bank account, and owned stock (which I still own). Before I file I want to make sure I have all the documents I need to prevent amending my return. So far I have received:

-W2 for both jobs

-Unemployment statement

-Stock statement

-Bank statement with earned dividens

Should I wait before filing or does it seem like I have everything I need?

    All of them

    Everything you received with IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION marked on envelope

    Not entitled to education credits since you withdrew

    Child support is NOT taxable income, not reported on tax return

    Looks like you've got everything

    If you did not receive a full tuiton refund from the school, you should have a 1098-T. Contact the school to get a copy. In addition to the tuition, any books or required expenses can be claimed, once again unless they were refunded.
